It is hard to see much of the hooded figure because of the voluminous hooded cloak. However, the figure does appear to be that of a young human, or humanoid, male. His skin is very pale, almost an opalescent white in color and his eyes are an ominous dull grey. You can see a few locks of curly black hair streaked with stark white tufts concealed by the hood of his cloak. When he glances in your direction, you can feel his gaze almost as a physical blow. He holds himself erect, a tall and imposing figure giving evidence of great pride.^[1]

Hunting strategies

A hooded figure usually spawns wearing a shield, and it will sometimes spend an additional turn slinging it over its shoulder. If you can get in an attack before this, you will have a better chance of striking the hooded figure.

Hooded figures have a variety of spells in their arsenal, the most threatening being their e-wave and their ability to dispel buffs. Take note when fighting multiple hooded figures at one time.

Note that hooded figures will spawn wearing a variety of different armors, ranging from flowing robes to augmented breastplates. In addition to anticipating potential spell hindrance, noting the figure's current armor can help gauge an appropriate type of ambush, if you rely on criticals. For example, you may have greater luck killing a hooded figure wearing light leather in one strike, as opposed to one in a chain hauberk (in which case it might be easier to take out its leg first).

Other information

Hooded figures will sometimes incant spells (i.e. prepare and cast them instantly) instead of spending an extra turn preparing them like some other creatures.
